Preparing to Own Your Home

Making the decision to purchase your home is a big step. Our housing and financial counselors will reach out to you well in advance of your purchase date to make sure you are prepared. They’ll work with you on your credit, debt, and savings. When the time comes, we’ll connect you to the right loan product and ensure your housing costs as a homeowner are affordable. Our goal is to ensure you make a successful transition to home ownership. We have a wide array of resources to help bring down the purchase price and help you to achieve affordable monthly housing costs that are no more than what you had been paying in rent.

We’ve helped over 1,000 families just like you take title to their homes. It’s never too early to begin preparing. We have savings programs, classes, and other resources to get your started today. Contact us to help you begin your road to home ownership! Or, begin by taking a home ownership class.

CHN made it easy. I wasn’t sure where to start. I knew nothing about being a homeowner. They taught me all I needed to know about various homeowner responsibilities that would’ve been difficult to experience on my own.

We had over $10,000 in medical and credit card debt, and very little savings before we purchased our home. I was amazed by the number of free services that CHN offered...[they helped ] reduce our debt and created a new budget that worked for our lifestyle. We own our home today, but still meet with CHN every year to take advantage of free services!

I went through CHN’s first-time home buyer program, their workshop for finances and classes on how to maintain your own home. CHN helped me to learn what I needed to know to own a home. And this home is going to stay in our family for a long time.
